Delighted to share our work on the Regioselective Metalation entitled as "Towards New Coordination Modes of 1,2,3-Triazolylidene: Controlled by the Nature of 1st Metalation in a Heteroditopic Bis-NHC Ligand" in online linkedin #RSCPoster 2024 conference. #RSCInorg #RSCPosterPitch Kindly Check the publication https://lnkd.in/gQ-nyZXC An unusual effect of the nature of first metal coordination of a heteroditopic N-heterocyclic carbene ligand towards the coordination behavior of 1,2,3-tzNHC is explored. The first metal coordination at the ImNHC site (complexes 3 and 4) was noted to substantially influence the electronics of the 1,2,3-triazolium moiety leading to an unprecedented chemistry of this MIC donor. Along this line, the RhIII/IrIII-orthometalation in complexes makes the triazolium C4-H more downfield shifted than C5-H, whereas a reverse trend, although to a lesser extent, is observed in case of the non-chelated PdII-coordination. This difference in behavior assisted us to achieve the selective activation of triazole C4/C5 positions, not observed before, as supported by the isolation of the homo- and hetero-bimetallic complexes, via C5- and C4-metalation, respectively. Further, the %Vbur calculation eliminates any considerable steric influence and the DFT studies strongly support the selectivity observed during bimetalation.

Thank You Brandi Cossairt for your wonderful query. I hope, I have answered your questions. Kindly let me know about any other query you have regarding my work/poster.
quality work.....very well characterized and inspirational work. Good luck
Awesome work - I enjoyed the video as well! The use of insights from the selective monometallation to achieve heterobimetallics is exciting. What are the prospects for using these complexes in catalysis? What are the advantages to this class of ligands from the perspective of transition metal complex reactivity?
Interesting work!
Why no acknowledgment for the crystallographer, who solved the crystals?
